I am also fascinated by how the Japanese take many imports from other countries and make them uniquely their own. The same can be said about how Americans take Japanese culture and make it their own. For instance, when thinking about sushi, we created the California Roll and added or own twist to fit the palate of Americans. While I was in Japan this summer, I had the opportunity to go to a baseball game and I am so glad I did because it was fascinating to see how baseball has taken on a life of its own in a very Japanese way. After experiencing the very coordinated cheers, and the more active role spectators take when watching the game, I came to the conclusion that going to Japanese baseball games is far more entertaining than going to baseball games here in the US and also a very special cultural experience that reflects the values and practices of Japan.
